“Can both Ethernet ports be used on the back of the mesh? I have 2 computers upstairs away from my cable modem that are required to be connected via hardline. Can these be configured to work like that or would I need to purchase an additional small switch?”

Only one port can be used as a hard wire out.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 1st unit will is the master with one port for internet in and the other port will be out but on any additional unit once activated the ports are out.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There are 2 ports - but one is INPUT and the other is OUTPUT. You may want to look into a multi-port ethernet switch
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Only one port is a LAN port and can be used, not both. One device is the main device connected to the cable modem. The other is LAN port. So I have my main one connected to the modem and I have a Gigabit switch connected to the LAN port that feeds all down stream devices in my house. I have the other two hardwired in each location. You can connected a device to the LAN port, and you should be able to connect a small switch to the LAN port splitting the signal for both of your devices.
